Recorded cajon on this track for @kristian_kostov_official and it's finally out! What made this a treat was meeting my (almost) ex-FSV-lecturer Leonard Fong @horus_studios and finally hearing how the speaker cone mic actually sounds! Swipe to check it out 👉🏻👉🏻👉🏻 Thank you so much @naivesun and Terence for this! 💙

Because celebrating birthdays on time is so 2018! 💁🏻‍♀️ Thank you FAFFs/adopted parents so much for this perfect peasants' night out! The food was spectacular but people at Violet Oon made the night for us - everyone from the maitre'd to the waiter was an absolute delight! Eating at a place where its ppl actually enjoy working there really tops the experience. 💯💯💯

Here are some self-portraits cos i don't see a better day than this to post whatever the hell I want. Happy International Women's day everyone. 💁🏻‍♀️ 📸: @bryantaydotcom

Happy place. 🙂 Always a pleasure to back my girl @kextay - watching her evolve as an artiste and a human is the best part of our friendship. 🥂 to a great showcase of so many original songs, here's to more coming up!!! 💙😘💙 . Thank you @lousycameraman for all the great 📸! #paradoxical

2009 / 2019 Famous last words from the maternity nurse: "This baby is very naughty." 🙃 Happy Give-Birth Day Mummy! #10yearchallenge

And of course *this* is your top favourite. 🥰 I made so many friends from this video! The community of drummers I have "met" through IG is my most treasured part of Instagram and social media. From the bottom of my 🖤, thank you all so much. I see conscious effort (in those whom i follow at least) to lead by example, share anecdotes, dish out life/drumming advice, inspire - basically spreading love, light and positive vibes to one another like a big drumming fam. 🥰 Love. It. And now, new year, new things, new resolutions to break and keep, practice goals to set and be realistic with lol. Last few days to reflect of on 2018 and kiss it goodbye with a warm hug and a huge thank you. Can't wait for 2019! Happy New Year everyone!!! Hope you have a magical NYE. ✨

In 2nd place is this Prince cover - *my* personal favourite cos I had the most fun with it from pre to post. Thanks for making it one of your favourites too! I love this version from his live performance on the Tonight Show in 2004. 💜 #princeismusic 👉🏻👉🏻 for the original footage of the 1st clip straight off the camera. You can hear the Thi-Hats with the Paiste splashes pretty clearly.

🇸🇬 being the 2018 hosting country for ASEAN means many ASEAN concerts and I get to make music with my good friend @tontrakul_k from Thailand twice this year! His track Isan Lum Long is dope af. Had too much fun with my percussion brother @govintan_hashbrownmaster (who also took these pics in the gif!) in the ASEAN Street Band led by the wonderful Mei Shuem. 💙 Huge thank you to Miss @annie.pek for putting us together! Concert pics by Bertrand Grandgeorge - thank you!

Can you guess what song I'm covering here with just the camera audio? 👉🏻 Swipe for the answer, last video is where I used this take. I got the Thi-Hats to do songs ppl usually go "you can't do THAT on cajon?!" This was the first video i used it for and although friends say I look terrible in it (bless their hearts), it's still one of my favourite covers to date. #stubborn #noragrets 🤘🏻🖤
